This is the single greatest movie I have ever seen. Davey/Mr. Slaussen is simultaneously:
1) Tortured about his talents (e.g., "I can control it; I can! I shouldn't have to hiiiide it! It feeeeeeeeeels good!");
2) Desperate to make friends, e.g.,
"How's the soup?
"The soup is very good."
"Would you like some crackers with your soup?"
"I'd like some more crackers, please."
"How's that?"
"Yes, the soup is very good."
3) Proud of his accomplishments (e.g. "Pretty neat trick, huh?")
4) A ladies man (e.g., "You're so pretty. Why don't you like me?"); and
5) Sometimes, very, very angry (e.g., "You can't get away!")
Connors should have received an academy award for best actor for this movie. I mean, who was possibly better?! Tanya Roberts rocketed to the stratosphere following her performance in TT. It's a wonder not all of the stars of this masterpiece did not go on to have brilliant careers. I highly, highly recommend this film! It's available on amazon.com. Everyone should own it. Make a night of it and have a bowl of soup while you watch.
